The 2227 Icelandic Snaffle double broken is ideal for sensitive or young horses. The central joint reduces tongue pressure and distributes force evenly across the bars, while the sliding rings allow freedom of movement and help the bit settle neutrally in the horse’s mouth. The central “sweet copper” insert encourages salivation and acceptance, making it a soft, horse-friendly option.

Description

2227 Island Bit Double-Jointed

A double-jointed water bit is a widely used and common bit in equestrian sports. The effect of this bit is relatively mild. The water bit features round rings at the ends of the mouthpiece, which can slide freely through the mouthpiece. These rings provide some flexibility and help distribute pressure evenly. The round rings allow the horse to move the bit independently within its mouth.

The double-jointed water bit is considered a gentle bit, making it well-suited for young or sensitive horses. The double-jointed mouthpiece with tongue relief follows the natural shape of the horse's mouth and features a flat central piece. This design distributes pressure more evenly over the bars and relieves pressure on the tongue. The continuous rings ensure the bit always finds a neutral position in the horse's mouth. The stainless steel mouthpiece is completely odorless and tasteless, making it suitable for sensitive horses. The sweet-tasting copper central piece can stimulate increased chewing activity.

Size Guide

Measure your horse’s mouth width by placing a bit sizer, string, or dowel between the corners of the lips (at the position where the bit will sit), mark the ends, then measure the distance.

The bit width should be such that the rings rest just outside (or very slightly beyond) the lip corners—if the bit is too narrow, it will pinch; too wide, it will shift side to side.

For loose ring bits, allow a little “play” so the rings can rotate freely without pinching the lips.

When mounted in the bridle, the bit should sit such that there is 1–2 small wrinkles at the corners of the mouth (but this is not a perfect rule for all jointed bits)

The bit should lie on the bars (the toothless gap between incisors and molars) and not press into teeth or interfere with the palate.

Care Instructions

Washing
After each ride, rinse or wipe the bit to remove saliva, feed residues, or sweat. Use lukewarm water and, if needed, a mild, pH-neutral detergent or saddle soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the metal surface and reduce the bit’s longevity.

Drying
Once cleaned, dry the bit thoroughly with a soft cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before storage. Do not expose the bit to direct sunlight, and never place it on or near heat sources such as heaters or radiators.

Storage
Store your bit in a dry, well-ventilated environment, protected from moisture and temperature fluctuations. For best results, keep bits individually or padded to prevent metal parts from rubbing or scratching each other. Avoid leaving the bit attached to the bridle for extended periods, especially in humid conditions.

Guidance

Any bit can cause pain if used roughly or improperly. The wrong size can also be painful for the horse.
